Any recommended parking brake shoes?
My handbrake was absolutely terrible on my 2008 350z 313GT so I changed the brake shoes and adjusted in many ways, but is still absolutely terrible.
I've read many threads about how bad the 350z parking brake is but it doesn't hold on hills! I have no clue it passed it's MOT.
Has anybody bought any aftermarket brake shoes that work well/better than standard for holding on hills?

if you follow nissans tech procedure and loosen the adjuster near the hand brake handle first then make your adjustments at each drum everything should hold fine. My z had crappy ebrake when i bought it and found that 1 wheel had not been adjusted correctly. I can park nearly anywhere now without rolling and can even make the tires lock up at 30mph
